I have had time to unpack the sewing machine and do a little work.
The first project I worked on was the block of the month, I started this quilt as a class at Peter Taylors.
I had to make a few more (lot really) of small blocks for fillers.
Then the fun started, putting it all together, A lot like a jigsaw puzzle. This really is the exciting part of the project.
Build bigger block out of all the smaller blocks. Step one
With all the blocks from the class plus a few more the quilt top is slowly coming together.
The quilt top is finished, sorry it is not a very good photo but you get the idea.
This was a great project to use up a lot of your scraps or old fabrics.
Many of the fabric in the quilt, I have had in the cupboard for a long ,long time. Very impressed with my self when I finely used them.
A good mix of old and modern fabrics
The second quilt top I finish was one I started in a class with Sue Ross 2 years ago.
I have also used a lot of old and modern fabric in this quilt. A lot of the older fabric is ugly. really, really ugly but when mixed in with every thing else you don't see it. Slowly eating in to that old stash of fabrics. It's a great feeling to be using it up.
Spring has hit us a little early this year. The flowers are all out, and it look stunning. This is my Aunt Mary's garden at Toowoomba. Mary's garden is lovely all year round.
Time to get back and finish of a few more UFO and I seem to have a lot of them waiting for me. I wonder if you ever get to that time in your life that you don't have a UFO.
I think that would be really sad, but knowing me I can't see that ever happening.
